</div>while the Garmin ones can use OSM maps, the chips they are still using is not<br>
the newest and best<br>
so it is harder to get a fix<br>
My newest logger can actually get a fix inside my house, which was constructed<br>
with a near complete Faraday cage design, although a fix takes much longer<br>
than the 30 secs it needs outside.<br>
Yesterday I stuck it to the top of my point-and-shoot camera<br>
as that is my favourite recording item.<br>

<div>depends on your priorities.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><br>
the other benefit over the Garmin with too many buttons is that after it<br>
looses a fix no user input is required to restart logging<br>
<br>
using i-887 from Transcend i-blue series, sold as photoMate.<br>
it's not on the wiki yet, the wiki crashed the night I was going to add it<br>
